hey guys.. I found a true SOD/CHARGING FREEZE SOLUTION!!

before, I'll explain this thing :

willy and some other friends said that reflashing stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM, and then never do task29, is also true to avoid SOD.

but, I always do task29, and my ROM never SOD/charge freeze for more than two weeks..

here it is :

- use S2U2, then set to lock the device when Backlight turns off (s2u2 settings-> power)

- NEVER use the power button to sleep device. Instead, You can assign left or right softkey, or the X-panel button to execute s2u2, if you want to lock the device before keeping it in pocket.

- you can set the S2U2 to power off the device after 5 seconds (s2u2 settings-> power), so after executing s2u2, the device will be powered off after 5 seconds

how can S2U2 prevent SOD/charge freeze?

- the main idea to prevent Sense SOD/charging freeze is to change to another screen before sleeping the device. So, Sense services will not run (because it is in the background), even when waking the device, because S2U2 is now the foreground. SOD/charging freeze occured by Sense services.

- in another post, Willy said that using the original autolock (on power button) can prevent SOD, but I think that's not true.. because the lock screen comes AFTER the device WAKES, NOT BEFORE the device SLEEP

try it guys.. but I NEVER face the SOD/charge freeze for 2 WEEKS, even when charging the device overnight

(Screen freezing or phone hang still also a problem, but they are seldomly happened.. yes, because Sense is rather heavy for X1 CPU)

Please correct me, Master Willy or friends, if I'm wrong.. :) I'm using Willy's latest ROM for now.. (see 826x.blogspot.com)
[XPERIA X1 General] ultrashot:
Pretty old solution. I've been using lock screen to prevent freezes on bad hardware revisions-phones for almost year now. I've told willyung to use such thing a long ago but as I remember he uses another service/app to open lock screen. May be that's the reason why it freezes...

Btw, better to say "workaround" than "solution". IMHO.
[XPERIA X1 General] caliban2:
nice try.

but i wonder if the myths about SoD will ever stop to prosper...

you see, this is not true:

you can get SoD in a rom without sense as well. thus the whole "theory" about S2U2 fails. and you can get SoD with sense 2.1, with winmo 6.1 (very rare, but possible), with sense 1922, with sense 2021, etc etc etc.

SoD is caused by power management. and how to fix it - search. there's already a thread about it.
[XPERIA X1 General] ultrashot:
Well, that's hardware-related in some way. I am using sense 2.5-roms for almost a year now and I haven't ever encountered freezes at all. Some of my friends do. I have a pretty early retail phone.
[XPERIA X1 General] orkhanahmadov:
interesting...

thanks for solution. but I never had charging freeze with my device.

i'm always using Spoon Charge app when charging. it gives me all the battery and charging infos...
[XPERIA X1 General] duke_dreadmoore:
you mean the original lockscreen? I always encounter SOD/charge freeze using that.. because I think the auto-lockscreen comes after the device wakes.. so Sense is still on foreground when device sleep

I've been using a non-Sense ROM (xperia unoff, willyung with sense disabled, twinge rom) for about 6-9 months.. never encounter any sod/charge freeze.. only hangs sometime, that's normal for WM..

I found that the application is buggy.. s2u2 also give u battery info when charging..
[XPERIA X1 General] caliban2:
well, and others encountered them the first night when charging with sense disabled or a non-sense rom right away. what does that tell you?

i garantee you: sooner or later someone will try your "solution" and report back with SoD. you have no idea how frustrating the period from sept 09 to april 2010 has been - it was the "height" of SoD. testing, trying, getting frustrated, oversleeping because the phone was dead in the morning... :D

"using roms 6-9" months - i'm longer SoD-free than you are a member on this board... :p and so are others - if they're still using the x1 that is, looks like knowhow gets lost. ^^

"wm hanging is normal": yes - and no. it depends heavily on the rom you're using. longest streak without restart i had were 3 weeks - and i only had to break that because i installed ultrashot's volume-control.)

maybe this can shed some light on it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7459349#post7459349

this is the way that got everyone SoD-free sooner or later. problem is: you may have to find your perfect settings first. (settings around 40 secs seem to do it for the majority.)
[XPERIA X1 General] ultrashot:
I use my own service to lock device during charging. Actually, it locks before going to suspend :)
[XPERIA X1 General] duke_dreadmoore:
I don't know brother, maybe SoD is more complicated than I think :D

previously, I stay using xperiaUnoff ROM for 5 months.. never sod, hang, freeze..

after that, using Willy's ROM, encounter SoD every 2 days..

then I try s2u2 with that settings, never Sod.. I can believe my phone again :)

do you have forum link for that service? will be nice to try :) thx..
[XPERIA X1 General] Cyberdyne:
Till now I only had SoDs when using a ROM with native 6.5 kernal. Has anyone a SoD problem using a ROM with a 6.1 kernal? Maybe this is the solution?
[XPERIA X1 General] williyung:
I would agree with ultrashot that sods and charging freezes could be hardware related.

I always got sods and charging freezes with my lost phone, however autolock prevent the charging freeze. With my current phone, I never had any single sod, charging freezes and any other freezes. One thing can be noted, I never task29 and flashed radios with this phone.
[XPERIA X1 General] caliban2:
maybe. but there has to be a sw-/driver-component as well.

i always got SoD with this phone since 6.5 came on (summer 2009; preventable with resumingsuspend-keys) with roms from different cooks (including yours ;) ). but since i made my own rom based on ultrashot's kitchen not one SoD occured. sure, over the weeks i changed more and more stuff in sys and oem, but SoD was gone from the beginning when i was just playing with ext-folder. same hardware all the time.
[XPERIA X1 General] jackleung:
Been using my own 6.5 rom with sense for more than a year (nothing new to WM that interest me to update it anyway) without SOD. Never task29 and I don't believe SOD related to Sense (maybe some bad implementation would).
[XPERIA X1 General] j j:
I think find the solution & what program causes it

the cookie home tab program cause to SoD

u can test manila without this program & u will see no SoD
[XPERIA X1 General] caliban2:
i'm happily using cht and experience no SoD's at all... ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] j j:
really!!!

whats ur ROM ???
[XPERIA X1 General] caliban2:
my own (look at my sig...)

but using ultrashot's kitchen as a base. his roms are sod-free too, i think.
[XPERIA X1 General] harveydent:
I don't use CHT and get SODs
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImEVO:

hi android friends. anyone has experiences recommend a SMS app that does international text for free or cheap? it must be able to send/receive with dumb phones. not smart to smart phones. thanks. :)
[Droid X General] qGa:
I was wondering if I root my x, can I get the hotspot for free instead of paying an extra $20? if not i'll just not root mine.
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
If you root you can download wireless tether from the android market its free and its great.
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
Also use the latest version of z4root to root your Droid x. I've got my Droid x rooted with the free wifi tether and I couldn't be happier.
[Droid X General] qGa:
Thanks. Was making sure it was free.
[Droid X General] mattmartin77:
the verizon 3g hotspot has a mod you can get to unlock it, but it voids the verizon tos. even if you dont get free tethering, root for the many awesome benefits anyway.
[Droid X General] qGa:
I want to make this clear. I won't be charged for wifi tethering?
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
Just use the wireless tether that's free in android market. Also make sure you have an unlimited data plan which I assume you have.
[Samsung Mesmerize] shakeyourmatt:
Hello all,

new user...this place rocks...and so do you all..etc etc

I was just wondering how they (USCC) know if I root my phone or not?

It's almost like they beg us to void the warranty by not giving any updates or accurate release info....could that be apart of the big plan? Lure us into this excellent online community...(which quite possibly could be an average idiots downfall)?

Couldn't I just load up the stock everything, and they would never know?

:confused::confused:

cheers
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Depending on what you do they can't. If you have Froyo then obviously you have loaded unofficial software and they could see that. Otherwise I am not sure what you mean by load up on stock everything. If you did that on Eclair then I am not sure why you would want to root to begin with.
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
all you have to do, no matter what you flash to, is use Odin and you can go back to stock 2.1. even if you where using the fryoy leak with custom boot animations and all kinds of other mods...as long as you can boot in download mode you can go backto the way this phone was right out of the box
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
As of now this is only possible for mesmerize users, showcase has no 2.1 odin.

Swyped from my Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] dcow90:
Actually, I doubt USCC even checks. When you take your phone if for warranty, they just send it to the manufacturer and if the manufacturer (samsung) says that it's not warranty worthy then it isn't. At least that's how it worked for my TouchPro.. But all root does is add some files to the system. If you remove those two files it's like your phone was never rooted.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Velorium:
If you only rooted & it's stock firmware, hit the menu key while you're on the home screen then hit settings>factory data reset (THIS DOES NOT TOUCH DATA ON YOUR SD CARD). No way for them to know then. Make sure you have all your data backed up onto your SD card before doing this.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
I've actually taken my phone in to the USCC shop a couple of times, the store manager thinks mine is so much better than his because of the theme and density and stuff. He asked me how it was so fast and I told him it was a secret :P
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
they CAN see if you are rooted and you can take that to the bank. but because of a certain thing called the Bill of Rights they can not do anything with the information.

ya know when you download apps and it warns you about how it can collect data?

well every single carrier in the world CAN see EXACTLY what you have on your phone with regards to Firmware and Kernel.... that is a 100% guarentee. i know for a fact they can.

it is the EXACT same way that the network knows if your phone needs an update.

it pings your phone and requests firmware information. if its old it tells you there is an update, if not, it doesnt.

on my old EVO if you were running a non stock firmware, or even one that was modified you would not be told of updates because the network knows your not on a stock rom. the phone sends the servers information it doesnt recognize in regards to what you are running, or it sends info that the servers have listed as not eligible for upgrades and it denies you the upgrade.

now, JUST rooting, thats a little different. it needs more info than just "what firmware do you have Mr. Phone?"

but i can guarentee you that the phone IS sending data to the carriers about what it is running.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfugtfo85:
Fascinate slightly better.

Same usage, at 12PM the fascinate is at 50% and incredible is at 50-55%, but the incredible dies much faster when it goes below 50%.

I will be getting the HTC evo battery soon, so not sure how much it will improve the life.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfugtfo85:
Sorry, I prefer the incredible. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexus One:
What makes it your preferred choice over the Fascinate?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfugtfo85:
It works, better screen because the whites are actually white and not blue, etc.

The fascinate has TERRIBLE reception...just terrible. Apparently the galaxy s phones have a very weak antenna. I got tired of it jumping from 1x to 3g all day long. My incredible holds 3-4 bars of 3g all day and I haven't even seen 1x on it yet.

Basically, the fascinate is a 3g phone without 3g speeds. With both phones sitting right next to each other, the incredible will get over 2mbps while the fascinate struggles to get 0.50mpbs
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1ral:
Yeah I messed with the Fascinate at my local carrier.. omfg.. the phone IMO feels like junk compared to the Dinc.

Well it was worth a shot.

How's the fascinates gps now? I remember when it first came out it barely worked.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfugtfo85:
Still barely works.

I'm confident it will NEVER be completely fixed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
haha yeah I've noticed that with a lot of samsung phones so no surprise there :p

They all feel like they're cheaply made
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexus One:
I had the Samsung Omnia 2 with the AMOLED, and that seemed to work well. It had good signal strength as I recall, and it didn't feel cheap in your hands. But the OS (Windows 6.5) wasn't so great. By the way you describe the Fascinate, it sounds like Samsung has taken a step backwards in quality.

How do I now install software or jailbroken apps for free, I know this can be done on the IPHONE does anyone know what I have to do on the HTC desire to get similar free apps etc?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
NO Jailbroken apps for Android based devices. Those are for the IPHONE.

And if you ask for cracked software - you'll have a short life here :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
We are not the iPhone here so it is called rooting/rooted/root, etc. As nagypapi said, if you go around posting about "cracked apps" then yes, you will have a short life here. All I'm going to say is you can get it all from the market. Pay for them if you want but most of the apps are free and are really good for free. You can install apps through say a file manager, without using that Android market but that is all I am saying. You accepted the terms so you should of read them.

[Fascinate General] hondakorn:
Is the battery life as bad as ppl say? I was thinking about picking one up and going flash crazy on it until kaiosinate is more of a daily driver......
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
I had an incredible for about 2 weeks, I can honestly say if it wasn't for the battery life I would would still have the incredible.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the battery is somewhere between 1250 - 1350 MAH
[Fascinate General] stfugtfo85:
Battery life goes something like this (I have a pretty old battery though).

About 12PM my fascinate gets to around 50% (heavy usage).

Same exact usage on incredible, it's around 55%.

BUT...when the incredible passes 50% it seems to drain much quicker than the fascinate. I give the nod to the fascinate for battery life at this point, but I don't think the incredible battery life is as bad as people make it out to be. I will be getting an HTC evo battery, which fits in the stock incredible case and lasts longer.
[Fascinate General] stfugtfo85:
Battery is 1300mah. Evo battery is 1500mah and fits in the stock incredible case (no extended back required).
[Fascinate General] sengokubattosai:
I pu

lugged in my phone at 9 PM last night when I got go work. It was fully charged by the time I took my lunch break at midnight so I took it off the charger. It is now down to 69% six hours later with very light use at work (web browsing on lunch and breaks as well as when I waited for my car to warm up). A) is that normal? (Running froyo leak/super clean 2.5) b) is the Incredible going to compare to that or be better or worse? I have the opportunity to trade the fascinate for an incredible and I'm still not sure.

Also, I love the AMOLED on the fascinate, will I miss it on the incredible?
[Fascinate General] beeblebrux:
My buddy has an incredible with this battery, and he told me it really didn't make much difference. Lasts slightly longer than stock, but probably not worth what he paid for it. Not enough bang for the buck I suppose.

Also, to the guy above me asking about the screen. That same buddy complains about his incredible screen everytime he looks at my fascinate. So, I would assume you would miss it if you switched to the Inc. Fascinate has one of the best screens around in my opinion
[Fascinate General] stfugtfo85:
To be honest, I prefer the incredible screen over the fascinate screen. Why? Because the colors look more natural (and yes I have the amoled incredible). For example...if you open up the browser on each and go to google, the whites are pure white and look fantastic on the incredible while the whites look very blue on the fascinate. This is after turning auto brightness and power saving mode off. Nothing fixes it.

BUT, the fascinate performs SO much better in sunlight. This is because the incredible has an extra layer of reflective glass.
[Fascinate General] stfugtfo85:
Well in this particular case the incredible would do better. With very light use, the incredible battery is pretty good. Heavy use it when it's starts draining quick.

Everyone complains about the incredible battery, but it's only slightly worse than the fascinate.
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
You bumped your head...I've lost count of how many x and incredible users have drooled over my screen. I've even been in line browsing and had them notice it. You look at Cnet, endgadet...all of em, the only competition for it is apple's retina display...period.

Edit: Why is it called "super" amoled...oh yeah, bc it's inferior to regular amoled :rolleyes:
[Fascinate General] stfugtfo85:
Guess you never heard of opinions. If you want to go by specs, then the incredible's screen has a higher PPI, thus better screen.

But I'm going off opinion. I own both. Like I said, the fascinate screen performs so much better than the incredibles in sunlight, but the incredible's looks more natural (especially on whites) and the text is slightly sharper.

Super amoled just removes a layer of glass which is why it's better in sunlight, but for some reason the amoled on the galaxy s phones has a blue tint, while the amoled on incredibles doesn't.
[Fascinate General] stfugtfo85:
Just opened up the market on each one right next to each other...the blue tint on the galaxy s almost gives it a "washed out" look. The incredible's looks much better in my opinion. Pure whites and the colors all look "separated" and natural rather than covered in a blue tint.
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
Well imho, I agree with endgadget and all the rest, the clarity and color of the super amoled blows everything else away. I've owned an x, a continuum and the fascinate...the continuum was far the best, but the x was way to dull. Looked at the incredible specifically for the ppi, however it just didn't compare to the fascinates pure wet looking color.
[Fascinate General] beeblebrux:
I'm honestly not sure what you're talking about with the blue tint? I stared at google.com for a solid minute or so, and I see no blue tint. Is it just the fact that I'm used to looking at this screen?
[Fascinate General] stfugtfo85:
Probably. Sit it next to a phone with no tint, and you will see a pretty big difference.
[Atrix 4G General] Room7:
Going to get my Atrix in 2 days...dropped from unlimited to the 200mb plan. I know people will advise against it but I think I could manage. I came from WM and only went over 200mb once in my 2 years (averaged around 130mb/mo).

What are the best data managing tools?

I know leaving wifi on all the time will drain the battery but are there any tools that could use the GPS to turn on and off wifi based on location? ex. GPS checks location every hour and turns on wifi if it is within 2000ft of presaved wifi locations (ie home, office, school)

I have read opera mini will save the most data vs the default browser.

How can I manage Google Maps from using alot of data?
[Atrix 4G General] hadoyle:
I made the same move from unlimited. I'm around wifi like 99% of the time, but liked not having to worry about going over limit. I installed 3G Watchdog from the marketplace, amd it really helps to see how much data you are using.

You should definitely get 3G wwatchdog; I'm using that now and love it.

Also, make sure you use wifi as much as possible (obviously) and yea, I would use opera Mobile as a good browser.

Jeeze, good luck...

Even on a good month I'll use 1.5 gigs, and I don't even stream music or anything...
[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
Maybe change you accounts to sync only on wifi as well?
[Atrix 4G General] GhostXtreme:
Carefull at night for me, it switched from wifi to 4g. I had to disable mobile data manually via app quick setting.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
If you can, you should definitely try to get the extra!10 to use the 2 gigs.

You'll use 6mb (about the daily budget) within 10 minutes of surfing the net viewing full sites. Seriously.
[Atrix 4G General] Room7:
I dont know what you are doing but I use opera mini and only rack up about .5mb for 30mins of intense surfing.
